Maybe I am a little slow today, but I dont really see the point. It seems like a solution in search of an infrequent problem. At least here in the US, and I would expect in most countries freight companies have local delivery trucks outfitted with the trailer/truck mounted forklifts. As a General Contractor when I order materials to a jobsite I specify to the supplier wheather or not we have a forklift available, which we almost always do. They then choose the delivery truck based on this info. I would also wonder about its capacity as it doesnt appear to have much of a counterweight. The suspension would have to cause problems especially when reaching up high. Besides all of that it is most definetely thinking ouside the box. Thanks for sharing.

kind of cool but looks like it would be clumsy in tight spaces
great idea though

Good to see that and I think most of DC Home Remodeling Services are using this.

That's an interesting concept, a fully street legal forklift.
